especially possessive ones. I was reading an article last night (I forget which paper/circa 1870) where a government
representative was lecturing some of the last remaining
N. Calif indigenous peoples (aka Indians, savages etc) that
they needed to understand the concept of land ownership for their own benefit. Their response was one of incredulity. They responded that it’s impossible to own land. It is a gift of a higher power. Man can’t own such a thing.
The anthropologists weren’t much better than the government representatives. Yet man painted gorgeous landscape scenes and wrote sensitive poetry, but couldn’t see the soul in his fellow man.
As It Is In Heaven. It’s sort of a Swedish Glee – chew on that for a bit.
See if if you can – it is on Netflix instant if you have Netflix. Four stars and yes it is typical Swedish with the voiceover at the start and the obligatory Christ figure. Oh those Swedes.
